Yep it was more aimed at the F1 box in the Ferrari. Matt Farah is the one I remember hearing about the Aston being so bad he spent tens of thousands to get it to be a manual. Ended up finding out underneath it’s a H pattern box with a robot shifting it. But let’s be honest the v12 is two Taurus V6s welded together and today AM has a AMG German biturbo so officially complaining about it being bad at shifting is just funny. Because no one daily’s a car that was one of.. a few thousand made?

I was the engineer for Aston who was tasked with fixing the flappy paddle issues and we did. Reach out to me Hoovie if you want to know more. Biggest fun is put it in ASM mode drive at 50mph it will then go into sixth gear. Floor the pedal and it will drop 3 gears and take off like a bat out of hell. Most important is to swap out the ASM fluid (Tutela same as Fiat fluid) especially the clutch line.

The way it uses the clutch is also clunky. You can't really adjust the aggressiveness of the clutch action on the fly (unlike a manual transmission). Also if you compare it with same sequential transmissions in racecars (WRC, GT1, GT3....), it's slower to shift. Ferrari managed to do it better (still clunky in automatic mode though).

It is possible, that to his understanding during his review, he expected more from that model and the brand; His reviews were harsh, but remember who the customer base for those vehicles were at that time and the competition Aston Martin was facing, his review probably had some merit. In addition, automated manuals were new to alot of drivers, it is a lot like when Nissan began to introduced or what i called "forced fed" the CVT transmission to their product lineup back in 2003...The reviews by the media were brutal to say the least.

Regarding the CVT, True that. Once people learned that they are a different kind of transmission all together, and learned how to use/how to drive them, (what to do and what NOT to do with them) (AND HOW TO MAINTAIN THEM) honestly it really is a useful interesting & functional bit of technology!

Aston were always users of hand-me-downs; parts-bin specials. Maybe not so much in the 1950s, or perhaps even the 60s, but when the oil crises hit and Aston went into their 70s dry spell, they were using all sorts of components from major suppliers. From their point of view it made a lot of sense - the bought-in components were properly engineered and manufactured, cheap because of volume, and most likely with a budget that exceeded Aston's budget for the engine.

I've got a 2017 GTI with a dual clutch. If I ask it to reverse up a steep hill it shits a brick. Super jerky, the time between the brake being released and the clutch engaging isn't consistent, etc. If you're in a tight spot it's really unnerving. Even sketchier if you're ok gravel or another loose surface. Id rather be in a manual in that situation, I'm not an amazing stick driver but I can slip a clutch properly in reverse

Jeremy Clarkson absolutely hates all "Flappy Paddle Gear Boxes" with a passion. He hated the gearbox on this Aston Martin because he basically thought adding the gearbox type to this iconic British car brand was "Sacrilege". I think it was a generational thing, the flappy paddle gear box in road legal sports cars was "relatively new" back then and we have had 20+ years to get used to them.
@SkodaYetiFan
@SkodaYetiFan 2 жыл бұрын
Not really a generational thing. All the early iterations of the flappy paddle gearbox (Lambo E gear, Ferrari F1, BMW SMG and whatever nonesence this Aston uses) were garbage. They only got good around the late 2000s and became truly exceptional with the introduction of the double clutch technology in the 2010s.

Plenty of Ferraris he's liked with flappy paddle shifters. A lot of the problem of cars of this era is the big jerk as the gearbox dips the clutch and shunts it back in again in the next gear. BMW M6 was like this as well, even shunts when driven gently. More aggressive than a conventional auto, but not as smooth to drive

Before you replace all the ignition coils check for oil pooling around the spark plugs. The rubber seals around the PVC plumbing get tired and leak, sometimes causing oil to pool around the plugs and misfires. I would strongly recommend a little research in the Vanquish section on the AMOC forum as there's loads of great info in there that will help with your diagnostics and repair.

He was far better as an entertainer once Top Gear went that way, than he ever was as a serious and impartial car journalist.
